The farmers all seem to be full of life, as
the time is approaching when the farmer will
be rewarded for his labors. The corn crop
has been excellent and shows good returns.
The best field of corn in this neighborhood is
that owned by j ohm Strickin. He challenges
any one to show him better and as he is u
man of good understanding, guess he means
what he says. All the corn has been cut and
husking has commenced. Seeding is about
finished, and the amount that has been put
out does not indicate that the farmers are
discouraged at low prices. The potato crop
has been good throughout the neighborhood,
some farmers raising several hundred bushels
and the best of all is, that they are bringing a
first class price.
A very eloquent and able address was re-
Gently delivered by Rev. Jacob Martin, at the
school house. He spoke on how to promote
the cause of morality. He advocated many
things to which, if the young would pay heed,
would save them from many of the temptations
of life. He is without doubt an able speaker.
Our neighbor, the miller, Geo. Grose, is
overcrowded with work, but don't stop for
that, but come right ahead with your custom,
you are sure to find satisfaction.
Our ice cream man, John Stricklin, says
the ice cream business is about closed for the

tinues to increase every season.

enjoyed it, because they are studying some

The Anarchists.

1t is feared that au attempt at rescue or
bomb throwing may be made when the seven
convicted anarchists are brought to the gal
lows at Chicago. The feeling of the people of
Cook county and of the city is overwhelmingly
in favor of furnishing the participators in the
Haymarket massacre of the police, but it is
incumbent on the authorities to take effective
means to preserve the peace and prevent
scenes of violence There are in the half
million population of Chicago fifty thousand
lawless aliens known to be in sympathy with
the condemned criminals, most of them be.
longing to oath bound societies, and prepared
to brave death in any shape. The state
militia will be called into service on the day
of execution, and it is probable that detach-
ment of regular troops will be held in reserve
for any emergency. 1t is said that Judge
Gary, Inspector Bonfeld and Chief OF Police
Ebersold are not unprepared to be made
targets of for anarchist booms, but any attempt
at rescue will be perilous and met by the
sternest measures Of repression.

It's proprietor Robbins aggregation two
years ago visited Westminster, and its per-
Torrance gave such universal satisfaction that
on Monday last the crowd was so large that
additional seats had to be placed in position
after the performance began IN order TO ac-
comodate it.
Every act was thrilling. The shooting by
Chevalier Ira Paine almost curdled the blood
in ones veins, rs his wife placed glass balls
in brass socket attached to the cap on her
head, and only an inch or two above it, and
almost as fast as she could remove the broken
one and replace it by whole one, they were
broken. He uses with equal skill revolver,
rifle and shot gun.
The Jeal Sisters were heartily received,
and their bareback riding and dancing gave
evidence that they were stars IN their pro-
fession. Miss Rosina Dubsky's performance
on the tight rope was the best ever given
here. On the flying trapeze Miss Lucy Da-
vene gave some startling feats, and showed a
nerve possessed by few. Mr.. c. w. Fish,
while not up in his performance of two years
ago, owing to sprained ankle, gave some
good acts. The elephant brass band and
quardriIle were very entertaining and shows
what can be done by kindness with the brute
creation. Mr. Thompson, their trainer, had
perfect control over them.
As n whole it was an excellent entertain
ment, and Mr.. Robbins has two able assis-
tants in Frank C. Gayler, the advance agent,
and George S. Cole, the special manager and
press agent. To Mr.. Cole We are indebted
for a special invitation TO the menagerie,
which contained rare animals and beautiful
birds. Each employe knew his place, all were
polite and attentive, and to this the proprietor
can attribute his success. A private word to
Mr. Robbins-keep Cole and Gayler and
your success it assured, as they are favorites
with the press and business men generally.
Come again next year.

ShipleY Items.

Mrs Grove A. Shipley has begun work on
her large family residence, which she purpo
SEES building in Morgan Run Valley, near
the Washington road, and about one mile
south of this post office. We are told that
the work has been begun ill earnest and will
be pushed forward to completion before
Christmas, and when done it certainly will be
a fine country residence, as it is to cost be-
tween two and three thousand dollars. Geo.
Barnes is now on the premises saving the
frame, and it is thought John Becker will do
the stone masoning for the same.
Mr. Ephraim Williams is making ready TO
build a spacious corn crib on his farm, pre-
paratory to lofting his corn crop, which is a
large one.
Husking corn is the order at present, and
the crop is a good one.
The grain seeded here is making fine
appearance, although it has been rather dry
since the seeding season closed.
Samuel Shue has moved from John l..
Hagner's tenant house, into John Wagner S,
half mile nearer your city, and not all the
way, as was announced few weeks ago in the

The heavy frost last week has made won
derful change in the appearance of things.
Especially is this change noticeable in the
leafy foliage Of our forest, which the boar
frost has changed from verdant hue to an
orange yellow, and the falling leaf reminds US
of "Newton's apple" and the powers of gravi-
tation upon every thing around us which
must take fall.
